The human characters in the novel are just as captivating. the main human character, kate waterbee, is a typical thirteen-year-old. she is secretly angry with her parents because they have no decent excuse for forbidding her from getting a pet. kate believes that “allergies would have at least evoked some sympathy. but her parents’ noses and eyes could handle a dog or a kitty. it is their worried minds that fear an animal whining at them all the time.” while with their mellow daughter, kate’s parents fear adopting a needy, demanding pet could alter that attribute. in paragraph 2, the word evoked means a) almost seen. b) tried to get. c) thought about. d) brought about.

D) brought about.

Hint: If you're ever stuck on a word you don't know, use context clues to find out the meaning!

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.
